Looks Like Irrfan Khan Will NOT Be Playing Proto-Goblin In Spider-Man Reboot!

The actor has revealed that he was no keen on joining the cast of Spider-Man and that the only way he could be convinced was by the promise that he would not play a masked villain or creature of any kind...

Although we already know that the Bollywood star will be playing Nels Van Adder, it has also been widely speculated that this meant he'd be playing little known villain, Proto-Goblin. Well, the following excerpt from an interview he did with Indian Express seems to debunk any possibility that we'll see him transform into the monsterous villain at any point in the upcoming movie!

While he is looking forward to Spiderman, the 48-year-old confesses, that initially he wasn’t keen on the project. "I didn’t want to be part of this violent American fantasy. But both my sons were excited and kept insisting that I take it up." But the intricacy and freshness of the script finally won. Even then, Irrfan placed one condition before Webber — he didn’t want to be a masked villain or become another creature. Spiderman’s schedule in Los Angeles will follow his March shoot for Life of Pi in Taiwan.

What do you guys think about this? I personally am extremely relieved! Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place though. The currently untitled Spider-Man reboot is set to be released in 3D on July 3, 2012!

WELL..HE GOT IN THE MOVE"WITH" HIS CONDITIONS SO I WOLDENT BE RASH ENOUGH TO CALL HIM AN IDIOT..GLAD THERE'S NO "PROTO" GOBLIN THOUGH.NOW WHEN THE HELL ARE THEY GOING TO CAST NORMAN OSBORN?,IS HE CONFIRMED TO SHOW UP IN THE MOVIE?

Man, you'd think they would hire someone who isn't so against the idea of super heroes. My only thing is if he's a scientist, then why don't they just give his character another name, instead of using someone who turns into protogoblin

Damn, sinise would be great if he was only taller lol,truth be told in his heyday around the time of Forrest gump,i would have loved for him 2 play wolverine,he would have had 2 get on the Hollywood "roid" program pronto

Violent American Fantasy? Heh, he sounds Anti-American. I'm not against that, but he does need to understand that the whole world is full of shit, not just America, lol. Don't be Anti-American; be Anti-Human. Ha ha heh.

Relax people, he started it by trashing AMERICA!! As soon as this douche started making demands I would make sure to tell him "don't let the door hit'cha where your 8 armed god split'cha!!" However, it was a pretty stupid comment, but does everyone need to be the PC police?
